I don't get this thread.
Are we supposed to wax nostalgic over the end of the hated, detestable Lakers' reign?
The only thing better than the Lakers' reign coming to an end would be if it had never existed to start with.
Teams (NJ) are smarter than that. Learning from Chicago, post MJ, most teams will put a time bomb on their offer. They give the player a few days to a week. to accept, or it's null and void. That cuts the leverage for a third party like LA way down.

You got it parter, I'm waxing on and off with nostalgia... as better described by the following classic:
summer, summer, summertime
time to sit back and unwind
Verse One: Fresh Prince
Here it is the groove slightly transformed
just a bit of a break from the norm
just a little somethin' to break the monotony
of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
a little bit out of control it's cool to dance
but what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
give me a soft subtle mix
and if ain't broke then don't try to fix it
and think of the summers of the past
adjust the base and let the alpine blast
pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
and put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime
Chorus
Verse Two: Fresh Prince
school is out and it's a sort of a buzz
a back then I didn't really know what it was
but now I see what have of this
the way that people respond to summer madness
the weather is hot and girls are dressing less
and checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
riding around in your jeep or your benzos
or in your Nissan sitting on lorenzos
back in Philly we be out in the park
a place called the plateau is where everybody goes
guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
she turn around to see what you beeping at
it's like the summers a natural afradesiac
and with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
to hit you and get you equipped for the summer time
Chorus
Verse Three: Fresh Prince
it's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
hustle to the mall to get me a short set
yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
the temperature's about 88
hop in the water plug just for old times sake
break to ya crib change your clothes once more
cause you're invited to a barbeque that's starting at 4
sitting with your friends cause y'all remincise
about the days growing up and the first person you kiss
and as I think back makes me wonder how
the smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
all the kids playing out front
little boys messin round with the girls playing double-dutch
while the DJ's spinning a tune as the old folks dance at your family reunion
then six o'clock rolls around
you just finished wiping your car down
it's time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout
it looks like a car show
everybody come lookin real fine
fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
every moment frontin and maxin
chillin in the car they spent all day waxin
leanin to the side but you can't speed through
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
there's an air of love and of happiness
and this is the Fresh Prince's new defintion of summer madness
I hate the Mavs, but not as much as I hate the Lakers. TBH, I've always liked Dirk's game and I think he deserves to win a championship after staying loyal to his team for years.
Yeah Dirk is the man! No doubt.
Lakeshow isn't out of it yet. They're only down 2 games; they can win a game or 2 in Dallas and then it's a whole different series.
Lakers have too much good talent & coaching to go down w/o a fight & I'm not convinced that the Mavs have shedded their "soft" reputation-physically & mentally.
This weekend will tell a lot.
Stick a fork in the Lakers. They're DONE and with them goes a golden era of NBA Superstars. Not just done for the season, but done for a few more years at least. Celtics are soon to follow, but at least they are going home for game 3 and still have a slight chance.
I haven't seen John Basedow or Lakaluva in recent days.
do not forget the er Giuseppe ...

All them all nowhere to be found, and yet, the Spurs faithful keep on posting!
Nobody ever forgets this er.
Bye bye es! haha, THE LAKERS.
If someone had told us, a month ago, that neither the Spurs or Lakers would advance to the Western Conference Finals, it would have been a shocker.
Love watching Pau Gasoft and Lamar Kardashian walk off the court pouting. Brought joy to my heart.
Seriously... I was so hyped for that series... especially with us having HCA.
The fork was in them after game 2. The Mavs just twisted it for some extra pain. The team up 3-0 in a 7 game series has a record of 98-0. Now it's just a matter of whether it's done with a broom or can last a couple more games.
convinced yet?
Lakers choked tonight. You never saw that in them during their 2 year run.
It's OVAH.
just hope the spurs' FO are learning something about this mavs/lakers series
something like, get some extra help in the paint right now
It's truly the end of the initial "post-MJ Shaq/Tim/Kobe" era. One of those guys may "luck" into a le, Kobe having the most chances, but the odds really are against all of em now.
It was a great run, and one of the best eras of basketball in history. I'm proud I was there for all of it, and some of my best memories as a fan of both the Spurs and basketball were forged from it.
new era the next few years?
rose...wade....lebron...anthony...durrant...randol ph? looks good.
Exactly what I'm talking about. The 2006 Mavs/Spurs series, the battles with Nash, the battles with Garnett and Wally Scerbiak,... Ginobili's performance against the Pistons in the finals, TP going off for 50 + points, making the Laker bench cry and more.
There are sure to be more classics with the new generation, but there will never be another Kobe, Duncan, Manu or Tony in their prime.
Timmy has been on the decline and he just looks sad sometimes, but he is so great a teammate that he would never let his ego get in the way of the next generation.
On the other hand, I fear that Kobe's fall will not be much more graceful than AI's fall. Oh how hard you fall when you were the best and your body can no longer compete. Making matters worse for Kobe, his body is more banged up because he has been in the league since his teens and arrogance is not something easily changed.

Good one buddy!
Basedow is the worst kind of POS Laker fan. Some of their other fans are annoying and delusional, but they're HERE taking their lumps.
This is for you, JB
Strut on by like a king
Telling everybody they know nothing
And long live what you thought you were
And time ain't on your side anymore (anymore)
And so you tell me I
Can't take my chances
But I told you one too many times
And you were crying like a
I'm tougher than nails
I can promise you that
Step out of line
And you get -slapped back
And you can run
Your little mouth all day
But the hand of god
Just smacked you back into yesterday
And so you tell me I
Can't take my chances
But I told you one too many times
And you were crying like a
And you wonder why
No one can stand you
And there's no denying
You were crying like a
You were crying like a
Blinded by your sacred faded past times
Only time is your enemy
Granted a second chance
To prove that your arrogance
Is stronger than you'll ever be
Is stronger than you can be
Oh stronger than you can be
Oh stronger than you can (be)
And so you tell me I
Can't take my chances
But I told you one too many times
And you were crying like a
And you wonder why
No one can stand you
And there's no denying
You were crying like a
You were crying like a
You were crying like a
You were crying like a
Oh
